Abstract

Introduction: Low-risk childbirth care has been widely discussed as a source of evidence-based practice by health professionals. The well-being and satisfaction of women assisted allows the analysis of the quality of the service provided and enhances improvements in care practices. Objective: To measure the satisfaction of women assisted by Physiotherapy during labor and childbirth in the city of Lagarto/SE. Method: A cross sectional, prospective, observational study was carried out in a maternity with a sample of women who experienced the process of vaginal birth. An interview was carried out with the puerperal women, with the application of validated questionnaires (Well-being in Childbirth Scale and Satisfaction Questionnaire with Physiotherapeutic Assistance), in addition to the collection of sociodemographic data in electronic medical records. Results: The sample consisted of 50 postpartum women, 80.4% of whom were single and aged 26 years on average. As a substrate of the BMSP2 scale, an average of 76.38 for well-being during childbirth was obtained, equivalent to the optimal level of satisfaction. In measuring the puerperal women's satisfaction, 100% completely agreed that they were satisfied with the course of the labor with the help of the physiotherapist. Conclusion: The physiotherapist was essential in the level of satisfaction of the mothers, as well as their influence on the process of maternal well-being. Even so, it is very important to carry out other studies with a greater number of puerperal women who have experienced intrapartum physical therapy care.
